On 15th anniversary of 9/11, 'the grief never goes away'
NEW YORK (AP) - The U.S. marked the 15th anniversary of 9/11 on Sunday, with victims' relatives reading their names and reflecting on a loss that still felt as immediate to them as it was indelible for the nation. But despite a tradition of putting aside partisan politics for the day, the observance became part of the news of a combustible presidential campaign, when Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton left about 90 minutes into the ground zero ceremony after feeling "overheated," her campaign said. After going to her daughter's nearby apartment, Clinton left shortly before noon and said, "I'm feeling great." Her campaign offered no additional details, including whether the 68-year-old Clinton had required medical attention.

NEW YORK (AP) - Hillary Clinton abruptly left Sunday's 9/11 anniversary ceremony in New York after feeling "overheated," according to her campaign, and retreated to her daughter's nearby apartment.

Obama calls on Americans to embrace diversity on 9/11
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama on Sunday marked the 15th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks by calling on Americans to embrace the nation's character as a people drawn from every corner of the world, from every religion and from every background. He said extremist groups will never be able to defeat the United States. Obama spoke to hundreds of service members, and relatives and survivors of the attack that occurred at the Pentagon when American Airlines Flight 77 slammed into the Defense Department's headquarters, killing 184 people. The youngest victim was only 3 years old. In all, about 3,000 people lost their lives that day as a result of the planes that crashed into New York City's World Trade Center and in a Pennsylvania field.

Iran welcomes Syria cease-fire
BEIRUT (AP) - The Iranian Foreign Ministry on Saturday welcomed a U.S.-Russian agreement on a cease-fire for Syria, where it has been a key ally of President Bashar Assad during the five-year war that has resulted in as many as 500,000 deaths. Iran's semi-official ISNA news agency quoted Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Ghassemi as saying that "Iran has always welcomed a cease-fire in Syria and the facilitation of humanitarian access to all people in this country." The agreement is set to go into effect on Monday night, coinciding with the Muslim holiday Eid al-Adha. Both Assad's forces and rebels would halt attacks, while the U.S.

Analysis: Syria deal offers hope, but Russia calling shots
WASHINGTON (AP) - Saturday's deal to renew a nationwide truce in Syria, open aid routes and establish a U.S.-Russian military partnership may be the best hope yet to end the brutal five-year civil war. It is also full of potential pitfalls and leaves Moscow with far more power than Washington to determine if there can be lasting peace. Careful to note the possibility for failure, Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov were nevertheless upbeat as they announced the agreement after a marathon negotiating session in Geneva that culminated dozens of one-on-one conversations over the past several months.

Clinton not letting up on fundraising despite cash advantage
WASHINGTON (AP) - Hillary Clinton could spend $2.2 million every day until the Nov. 8 election without running out. And every month she widens her cash advantage over Donald Trump. As of Sept. 1, it was a $55 million gulf. Yet the Democratic nominee is not letting up on gas when it comes to fundraising. Clinton planned to return to California on Monday for still more finance events after a lucrative August swing through dot-com mansions in Silicon Valley and celebrity-packed dinners in Los Angeles. Her allies say the continued fundraising helps other Democrats because the party can keep building up voter turnout operations.

The Latest: Video shows wobbly Clinton leaving 9/11 ceremony
A video taken by a bystander shows Hillary Clinton wobbling and being held up by three people as she left a ceremony at the World Trade Center marking the 15th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. Clinton's campaign says the Democratic presidential nominee left the ceremony in New York early after feeling "overheated." The video showed her stumbling while getting into a van. A senior law enforcement official who was briefed on the matter said Clinton was observed "fainting." That official spoke on condition of anonymity, because he wasn't authorized to disclose information publicly. A few hours later, Clinton walked out of daughter Chelsea Clinton's apartment on her own, saying she was "feeling great." She waved and posed for a photo with a young girl before getting into her motorcade.

Kashmiri police face public wrath amid anti-India uprising
SRINAGAR, India (AP) - Before the crack of dawn and before the protesters hit the streets to resume demands India leave Kashmir, he dressed like an ordinary man and made sure not to carry anything identifying him as police. He joined six passengers in a shared taxi outside his village in a lush pine forest near the militarized boundary that divides the Himalayan region between India and Pakistan. A young woman asked if he was a policeman, warning that it could mean trouble for all of them if he was found out by the anti-India protesters who regularly check IDs at highway roadblocks.

AP PHOTOS: Muslims gather for climax of hajj pilgrimage
MOUNT ARAFAT, Saudi Arabia (AP) - Before dawn on Sunday, Muslim pilgrims from around the world began ascending a hill just outside Mecca where the Prophet Muhammad delivered his final sermon some 1,400 years ago. The day spent on Mount Arafat is the pinnacle of the five-day hajj pilgrimage, which all able-bodied Muslims are required to perform at least once. Muslims spend the day there in deep prayer, many openly weeping as they repent and ask God for forgiveness. Prayer on this day at Mount Arafat, about 20 kilometers (12 miles) east of Mecca, is believed to offer the best chance of erasing past sins and starting anew.
